Hi Friends:) I recently signed up for my first post-injury race (hooray!) I’ll be running a 5k on September 17th, and I’m pretty psyched about it:) I’ve run a whole lot of races; many 5ks, almost a dozen halfs, and a full marathon. I’ve run in five states, and I’ve used every mode of transportation […]

Hi Friends:) I haven’t written a Teacher Tuesday in a while, so I figured for my comeback edition, I’d talk a little about one of my personal favorite things: READING! Firstly, I like to let people know that my experience learning to read was not a smooth one. First grade came and went and I […]

Hi Friends:) So, now that I’m finally back home and (mostly) healed after so, so many weeks of traveling and moderating my activity levels, I feel like I have a workout debt to pay. Logically, of course, I know that a few weeks off from consistent workouts was what I needed to heal up my […]

Hi Friends:) I was lucky enough to travel to Seattle last week after my 3 week stint working at a summer camp in California. I wasn’t up to running just yet when I was in Seattle, so I don’t have a whole lot of running tips for you. But I did REALLY enjoy all the […]

Hi Friends:) I went for my first run in over 8 weeks yesterday! YAY! In reality, it was more of a walk than a run. Per my doctor’s recommendation, I did 1 minute running/2 minutes walking repeats for the first 10 minutes. Since that felt good, I did 2 minutes running/2 minutes walking for the […]

Hello Friends:) I am SO SO excited to be back from my 3-week jaunt to the West Coast for camp! As I’ve discussed before, I absolutely love the camp experience, and I’ve spent the last 4 years working at a 2-week summer program for kids with social/cognitive challenges in Cupertino, California. The social/cog and Autism […]

Hi Friends:) So, let me start by saying this: READ THIS BOOK. Just do it. Just read it. I, too was not Amy Schumer’s biggest fan for a while there. I was not hugely into her show (possibly because one of my students in New York City missed one day of school to be an […]

Hi Friends:) A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with a tibial stress fracture, and I was pretty bummed out about it. My initial visit to my orthopedist was the second week in June, and he’d told me then and there to stop running and stop spinning. I’d honestly thought that he’d say it’d all […]

Hi Friends:) I hope this post finds you well! Summertime always makes me nostalgic. And it’s not just the memories of s’mores by the campfire or swimming in the lake. It’s the memories of all the habits and hobbies and passions that have started in the summertime for me. I started running five summers ago, […]

Hi Friends:) Whenever I’m out grabbing brunch with my active girl squad, we end up talking about our beauty routines. See, it can be tough to look put-together and professional when you’re constantly coming straight from a workout or heading to a workout afterwards. I often hit the gym before work, and have to […]
